The road is vague

Chapter 345 Hunting Ritual
after awhile.

Li Mo left the world of theft.

He quickly went to the fallen witch giant and was astonished to find that the giant was only unconscious and was still alive.

"Why didn't you kill him?"

"There's nothing strange about this."

The old man seemed to know quite a bit about the ethereal Peacock Clan.

"These ethereal peacocks can only use their stealing abilities and assume the identity of the person they are stealing from while the person they are stealing from is still alive. Generally speaking, the person being stolen from is completely unaware that they are being stolen from, and even if someone investigates using divination after the incident, they can only deduce the identity of the person being stolen from. It is precisely because of this that these guys can travel around the world with impunity."

Li Mo was thoughtful after hearing this.

He didn't understand why Wen Aoxing had just revealed his identity; he even suspected that the other party had discovered him.

"Then why did he reveal his identity? Was it just because of arrogance? But for a target who is about to lose his memory, it seems unnecessary and completely redundant."

The old man stretched.

"That's because if they want to steal a person's identity, they must first make the other person believe that they have this ability. Only when the victim believes it can their identity be stolen and replaced."

"I see, hehe."

Li Mo's eyes were opened wide.

His gaze then fell upon the witch-giant who was in a coma and had not yet regained consciousness, and a relaxed smile that he could hardly hide appeared on his face.

Li Mo stood before the giant witch.

Because the giant was kneeling with its eyes rolled back, Li Mo had a superior perspective, looking down at the giant.

After making some preparations and adjusting his spiritual power to its optimal state, he took a deep breath and looked solemn.

"The Great Dao of Ethereal Sealing Technique".

An ancient, barren, and desolate aura emerged from nothingness, but its exact origin remained unclear.

The old man in the distance seemed to sense something. He looked at Li Mo closely, as if his fur had been pricked up, trying to figure out the source of the strange power that Li Mo possessed in creating evil spirits.

Outsiders would naturally find it hard to understand that Li Mo was activating this sealing technique through his natal magic weapon.

One of the difficulties of this technique is that Li Mo, as the caster, must place his right hand on the recipient's body in order to officially activate the seal technique, which is either you die or I die.

Followed by.

A scene that only Li Mo and the unconscious giant witch could see appeared.

It seemed to be an ethereal box, a desolate world, slowly opening a dark crack. Countless bolts of lightning were forcibly torn apart by the crack, just as a wound that was healing was forcibly pulled open by some external force, so much so that the healing tissue formed between the wounds was also torn open again.

Two distinct auras surged from the crack and converged towards Li Mo.

The soil beneath his feet was rapidly eroded by an evil force, the earth softening into thick black mud. The black mud instantly spread hundreds of feet in all directions and was still spreading. Limbs resembling those of drowning people kept emerging from the mud, trying to grab onto something.

The air around him was imbued with a force of hope, causing his body to take on a faint golden hue, as if coated with a sacred cloak. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions continuously converged here, forming a visible vortex of spiritual energy.

"You stinky rat, what have you found?"

Upon hearing this, the trembling money-stealing rat nervously shook its head.

"Squeak."

The Divine Grass Doll took a deep breath and looked around repeatedly.

"Me too, I didn't see anything, but I could feel it!"

Let's not even mention the two little ones' murmurs.

In Li Mo's eyes, the faint phantom of Misty Peak appeared between heaven and earth, seemingly representing the overlap between the ethereal dream world and the real world.

His spiritual power also rapidly increased as the order of his natal magic weapon overlapped and spread, rising from the early stage of the Golden Core realm all the way to the middle stage, and it seemed that it could still continue to rise.

However, the witch giant he was trying to seal away had already lost its ability to resist.

Li Mo didn't need to use the complete sealing technique at all. He only needed to drag the opponent into the ethereal box as the prelude. Countless hands on the ground, like those of drowning people, desperately pulled at the giant witch. The eerie scene, like a nightmare, entered reality and quickly submerged him in the evil filth.

As the ethereal box closed again, the Seven Star Corridor returned to tranquility.

The evil soil beneath my feet and the light of hope in the sky seemed like illusions.

Li Mo was panting heavily, and grinned with satisfaction.

This was the first time he had used his natal magic weapon to seal a member of the witch clan, and he hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

At the same time, his aura gradually dropped back to the early stage of the Golden Core realm, which made him feel lost again, but he quickly got rid of this negative emotion.

If he could find a way to seal one more member of the Wu clan and sacrifice both of them together, he would be close to reaching the limit before evolving into a naturally formed creature, and would no longer be able to rely on this method to continue exploring the essence of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

But just then.

After his initial excitement, Li Mo suddenly noticed that several spatial rifts nearby were twisting and deforming. Before he could react, a large number of black worm-like things gushed out of the rifts.

These eerie creatures are completely black, like black holes that devour light. They have no markings or structural references, yet they do not affect the surrounding environment. Their lengths range from three feet to over ten feet, and they wriggle and twist constantly, as if searching for something.

"Void creatures!!"

Li Mo's pupils suddenly contracted.

He never expected that his use of the Great Dao Ethereal Sealing Technique here would alarm the legendary Void Creatures.

Fortunately, these void creatures seemed to be hostile only to the disturbance of the ethereal box, not to him as the caster.

"Or perhaps, this was originally part of the Great Dao's Ethereal Sealing Technique?"

Seeing the surrounding matter rapidly annihilated wherever these void worms passed, even including soil, was an order that Li Mo couldn't yet comprehend. Fortunately, most of these void worms floated in the air and didn't stray far from the spatial rift.

Li Mo held his breath and quietly escaped.

……

the other side.

The true demon avatar sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating on the stone giant in front of it for three days, before suddenly opening its eyes.

His greyish-white eyes revealed a thoughtful expression, clearly indicating that he had gained some insight.

However, due to the limitations of his Blood Path Secret Technique, all of which require the main body to be used as the basis for performing related lightning spells, and at this moment the main body has not yet mastered the insights it has gained over the past three days, it is unable to perform the high-level Five Elements Spirit Summoning Technique. Therefore, the True Demon Clone is currently only in the form of insights and cannot imitate and perform them using the Blood Path Secret Technique.

Fortunately, the true demon clone suddenly realized that the main body was actually near its tracking mark.

"He actually went to see Li Zizhong?"

Li Zizhong was Zhang Xiuning's husband, and he had promised Zhang Xiuning that he would help this person.

"It seems that the main body has also made some gains these past few days."

After grinning, the True Demon clone's body quickly faded and returned to Misty Peak. Just as he was about to use this as a transition to go to his main body, he suddenly noticed the Witch Giant in the thunderclouds, which looked like a piece of eye boogers on a giant eye underground, sealed in the Misty Box.

"As expected, one has already been caught."

Immediately, the true demon clone, using the original body as its coordinates, re-entered the Seven Star Corridor and appeared beside Li Mo.

At this moment, Li Mo and the cultivator named Li Zizhong had already made a preliminary acquaintance. The spirit cotton fields they cultivated were actually next to each other, which was obviously Li Mo's intention.

The Seven Star Corridor is filled with countless vengeful spirits, but unlike the vengeful spirits of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the vengeful spirits here do not have any concept of earth. What outsiders perceive as the ground is nothing more than large and small corpses floating in the air to the ghosts here, and they do not gather around these corpses.

However, these wandering ghosts will quickly gather after smelling the scent of flesh and blood, which is one of the daily challenges of planting spirit cotton here, and one must be constantly on guard.

Crackling!

Just as the true demon clone descended, Li Mo happened to use lightning magic to destroy a ghost. After noticing the arrival of the true demon clone, Li Mo looked puzzled.

"Why did it take you so long to get here?"

He had started summoning the True Demon Avatar two days earlier, but after realizing that the True Demon Avatar was in a state of enlightenment, he did not force the summoning.

"I encountered a spirit from the Yuanling Realm and studied it carefully. It should be useful to you."

Say it.

The souls of the two entities briefly merged.

After gaining insights into the True Demon Avatar, Li Mo's eyes lit up. He stood there, pondering the matter carefully, and then pointed forward with both hands forming a hand seal.

"Summon the Thunder Giant".

As the rolling thunderous spiritual energy gathered, lightning bolts shot out simultaneously from the sky and the ground, creating a clash.

Immediately amidst the turbulent spiritual pressure, a half-human, half-bird thunder monster, somewhat similar to the puppet from the previous combined attack, appeared. However, this was not a simple spiritual energy summoning technique, but a Five Elements Spirit Summoning Technique that only those who cultivate both body and spirit could activate.

Compared to ordinary Five Elements Spiritual Power Summoning Techniques, this technique not only takes things a step further, but also uses primordial energy as a physical body to support it, making it impossible to purify and allowing it to be maintained for a longer period of time.

After carefully observing the strength of this high-level beginner spell, Li Mo nodded in satisfaction.

"good."

However, this was merely a comprehension of the technique and a change in the structure of magical power, which no longer held much appeal for Li Mo. What surprised him most was the mysterious sealing altar found by his true demon clone.

"Since we were able to find the Divine Mud of Transformation in it, the other two altars are indeed worth exploring."

Say it.

Based on the information obtained from the True Demon clone, Li Mo calculated again with his fingers and obtained coordinates that were not much different from those of the True Demon clone, revealing a thoughtful expression.

He then made a decision.

"I will continue to disguise myself as a rogue cultivator and cultivate the spiritual fields here, while also taking care of that person. You go and explore the other two sealed altars. These sealed altars are just outer shells, so it doesn't matter if they are destroyed. But don't explore the sealed areas lightly, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"it is good."

Without uttering any further words, the true demon avatar immediately headed towards the second altar.

the other side.

After five days, a six-star warrior from Wushan Island finally arrived at the deepest part of the Seven Star Corridor.

His strong body was now covered in wounds, and half of his face looked as if it had been sliced ​​off by something, making him look quite miserable. However, his steps remained firm as he arrived at the Frost Barrier and knelt down in devout worship.

After a while.

He took out a piece of ice crystal, raised it above his head with both hands, closed his eyes, and walked into the frost domain.

In the white mist ahead, hundreds of ice sculptures in similar poses appeared. Each one had its hands raised above its head, moving forward in a devout offering posture, but they were frozen here. They were all seniors who had not been recognized and could not pass the coming-of-age ceremony test.

In just over a hundred steps, this witch-giant actually took the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

Then he saw a huge frost mirror, in front of which was a human-shaped ice sculpture, clearly the image of the True Demon's clone, marked with the word "kill".

The giant witch was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise.

"I will obey the High Priest's instructions!"

Every member of the Wu clan who comes here for the coming-of-age ceremony knows that the Great Witch will only bestow Seven-Star True Essence upon the most outstanding six-star warriors. This is the power of the Seven-Star Realm's origin, which he simulated by sacrificing his own strength.

Meanwhile, Wushan Island has long worshipped this ancient shaman, allowing him to wait for a turning point over a long period of time.
